LM CPM

I began my journey to becoming a midwife at the age of 16. I first became a nurse as there were no direct entry schools at that time. My initial plan was to go to CNM school, but I had my first baby 5 days after graduating nursing school...and life happened. I worked as a nurse first in ICU/ ER, then in L&D, NICU and Mom/Baby units. Later, I worked in a couple of birth centers and assisted other midwives with home birth. Eventually the Lord opened it up for me to be able to continue my education through a distance ed/ direct entry/ apprenticeship program: The Association of Texas Midwives Training Program. I became a LM and CPM in 2005. I provide home birth and birth center services through the Katy Birth Center. My husband and I have 5 amazing children , 5 grandchildren and another due in April !

I care that women have a choice and an opportunity to have their babies in the place of their choosing and with the provider of their choice as long as their health and the health of their babies allows. I believe that midwifery is a calling and that call includes not only the physical aspects of care but the emotional and spiritual aspects as well. Women who are well supported and motivated to keep themselves healthy have few complications in pregnancy or birth.
